"The new
televisions and players that can lift these images off the screen will
bring this experience to audiences in their homes, he
said.
Katzenberg is hoping that audiences will agree with his pronouncement,
as he and Technicolor CEO Frederic Rose took
the stage
wearing 3-D glasses at the annual geek fest."
Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks, discusses the emergence
of 3D television at the Samsung Press Conference.
"Paul Jacobs CEO of Qualcomm
said, " Smartphone
shipments are expected to exceed all computer shipments
in 2011.
But I'll tell you, the most important thing, the cell
phone has become the most
widespread platform human
beings have ever created. The cell phone market is
bigger
than the market for radios, TVs and the internet and fixed telephones, obviously, so this is the biggest platform in the history of mankind. Pretty
amazing."
So let's change, let's talk about the internet revolution.
We have this
vision that the wireless internet would fundamentally change the world and it
was actually
going to have a more profound impact on the world than the wired
internet. And I think that's what's
happening right now. There's all these app
developers out there, they're bringing tremendous creativity
to mobile devices.
End result is a better internet experience. That's a big change from the early
days of
wireless, when there were only really a few vertically integrated
companies and those companies were
just – they were the ones who defined what
went into a phone. It was kind of a closed system. And as
a result then, there
really were only a few people who could innovate. So what's changed? I mean why
is there so much interest now in the mobile internet? It's because it's about
entirely new possibilities.
It's a change. It's the internet that you take with
you and it's becoming more and more integrated into your
life wherever you are.
It's changing the internet from a sit-down experience to a carry-along
experience.
And that's something that's making it real-time, location aware,
changing it into something that has a lot
of context to it and makes it very
personalized. So you personalize the things that you choose to access
or the
things or people that you allow to have information and access to you.
Reports are that China and the
Asian and Latin American will
see huge growth in technology
Today, our industry estimates there
are about 4.6 billion mobile subscriptions
among the planet’s 6.8 billion
people. We’re nearing the day when we’ll be able to declare the entire
world
connected. Of course, the rapid spread of this technology in the developing
world has occurred
in a fundamentally different way, compared with the West.
Modern western telecommunications began
with the telegraph and then telephone
lines strung across the continent. Access to the Web spread first
though PCs
over phone lines, then via broadband cable, and now wirelessly.
Microsoft Chief
Executive Officer Steve Ballmer kicked off this year's keynote sessions with an
upbeat
take on how his company
plans to not only extend its reach in the home entertainment market, but
transform the sector as
well. "From the largest screen on the wall to the smallest screens in people's
pockets, we are
delivering the entertainment people want," Ballmer said.
CES ATTRACTS 4,500 MEMBERS OF THE PRESS IN 2010...SEE YOU THERE NEXT YEAR
2010 International CES showcased technology that will shape the future of
consumer electronics,
including wireless, 3-D HDTV, advances in OLED, green technologies, Internet TV,
mobile DTV
and digital entertainment. Gaming also played a starring role this year.
During
a panel discussion at the recently concluded 2010 International CES in Las
Vegas, David Poltrack, the vice president of research at CBS, said broadcast
companies were taking an in-
depth
look at the TV Everywhere business model because it would give them another
potential
revenue
stream. "Cable TV has a dual revenue stream," he said. "Broadcast TV
traditionally
hasn't.
... As broadcasters, we have to start to develop that second revenue stream and
